Basically, this is a play-by-play of my thoughts as I watch "Lost". What I'm thinking as I'm thinking it. If you want a frame of reference, you might head over to ABC.com and watch this episode as soon as it becomes available (2:00am on Thursday) and read along. Or you could just be happily confused. Either way.
I should probably warn you that there are spoilers below, so if you haven't seen this episode of "Lost" yet, and don't want to be surprised by anything, I recommend you click the above link and watch the episode first.
- Uh... 'effritzerlonga' to you too, Desmond...
- Is that Ghostbuster's dad?
- Penny's with child?! GO, DES!
- PUSH, PENNY! PUSH!!!
- Yay! Baby boy!
- What? Was that right when they got back? 'Cuz that kid looks older than two...
- Hah! 'Great Britain'?! PSYCHE!
- Chuckie-Dubs is 'connected,' Des. Y'dig?
- Replacing Claire with Charlotte was a good move. I think Charlotte is equally attractive but with a far less annoying accent.
- Ghostbuster go boom?
- Is that Ben's childhood friend? Whassername? Annie?
- ...or not...
- Proof that Jin' not dead: Daniel Dae Kim is still in the opening credits.
- She looks and sounds like a prettier, less obnoxious Claire.
- "Check out the big brain on Brad!"
- 'Others,' eh? I love how they've not come up with anything better than that to call them yet. They don't even seem to have an official name for themselves...
- Wait... for his... what?
- *NOTE* - The girl in the brown striped sweater leaning against the wall in the background as Desmond walks onto school grounds is my friend Molly Sutherland. She and I went to Olivet together. She lives in Hawaii and got a shot to be an extra on "Lost". Whenever she runs into one of the cast members when she's out and about, she'll text me to let me know. So far, I know that she's seen/met Sawyer, Desmond, Hurley, and Jack...
- Uh, can't you read, Desmond? There's DANGER inside! Fumes and whatnot!
- Ooh, who's the lady, Danny boy?
- Who's the janitor working for, I wonder? (Aside from the university...)
- Girl in the photo, I take it?
- Ellie?
- Way to botch your own plan, Danny boy...
- Aw! How sweet! Ain't love grand?
- They speak English. You know this. WHY does she INSIST on speaking to them in Latin?
- ...Locke's kind of a pansy...
- Hurm... what's going on here?
- Experimenting with Theresa, then?
- Faraday's working for Chuckie-Dubs? Deeper down the rabbit-hole we go...
- AWW! He meant it!
- HA! Whatta maroon!
- Is Richard the living embodiment of the island or something? I'm beginning to wonder...
- Is that chemistry I see between Juliet and Sawyer?
- Yowza! Precarious, no?
- What, they're naming bombs after Archie characters now?
- Is she the old woman talking to Ben at the end of the last episode? It would make sense in a weird way. She's probably Daniel's mom, too...
- All roads lead to L.A. Anyone surprised? No? Didn't think so...
- He's thinking Ben's gonna make good on his promise to kill his daughter, methinks.
- "Charles"... Widmore, perhaps? Interesting...
- So, if he's Widmore, then that girl very well could be the old lady Desmond meets in the past (end of 5.02) and Daniel's mom...
- Do you smell that? It smells like Desmond's pants... ON FIRE!!!
- Aw! He named his son Charlie!
- Does she know him or does she know him?
- That explains why Richard was at the birth of John Locke...
- So, is this... past? Future? What?
- Okay... that ending was decidedly lame.
- According to Lostpedia.org, the older woman's name is Ms. Eloise Hawking. What's a shortened form of Eloise? "Ellie".
- Daniel Faraday's lab mouse while at Oxford? "Eloise"... after his mother, perhaps?
- When Ellie is marching Faraday off to defuse 'Jughead,' Faraday makes the comment that she reminds him of someone he knows from a long time ago. When she comments that he's "quite the Romeo," he responds with "not quite." Why? Because she's his mother.
